20140124159 | AIR CONDITIONER FOR VEHICLE - An air conditioner for a vehicle includes a cooling means including a radiator, a cooling fan sending wind to the radiator, a reservoir tank connected with the radiator to store a cooling fluid, and a water pump circulating the cooling fluid. A water cooling type condenser is connected with the cooling line to condense a two-phase refrigerant, in which a superheated steam refrigerant, gas, and liquid are mixed through heat exchange with the cooling fluid. An air cooling type condenser is connected with the water cooling type condenser through a refrigerant line in series to condense the refrigerant through heat exchange with external air flowing in while driving and to discharge the condensed refrigerant to a receiver drier. | 2014-05-08 |
20140124160 | AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM FOR AN AIRCRAFT PASSENGER COMPARTMENT - An air conditioning system for an aircraft passenger compartment, the system including: an air supply circuit connecting at least one external air inlet to at least one air distribution outlet which opens into the compartment, an auxiliary power unit mounted in the supply circuit and configured to compress an air stream in the supply circuit, the supply circuit including a heating first branch that connects the auxiliary power unit to the air distribution outlet, and in which a heating mechanism is mounted, a cooling second branch that connects the auxiliary power unit to the air distribution outlet, and a switching mechanism configured to distribute the air stream between the heating first branch and the cooling second branch. | 2014-05-08 |
